Originally built to be the capital city of Canada, Kingston’s city hall is grander than it should be because it used to house the national legislature. It’s alignment with a waterfront park and position in the centre of the city gives it an unobstructed view of Lake Ontario to augment Read more…
Toronto is big, diverse, and lively, but not much happens north of Toronto…until you reach Montreal in Quebec. French-speaking, metropolitan, and always open for business, Quebec has great food options and poutine stalls serving sodium-filled heart attacks round the clock. Here, red is red, no right turns allowed. Montreal’s metro Read more…
Ottawa – the capital of the nation that I have mixed feelings for. If Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City weren’t all fighting to be the capital, Queen Victoria wouldn’t have ordered it built in the first place.

Except the Library of Congress, Massachusetts has two of the largest collections in the US. One in Harvard University and one in the Boston Public Library. Although its collection is immense, the impressive architecture is what draws people to the library from far and wide. It’s an amazing public space Read more…
Personally, I’m a fan of rococo furniture and baroque art to the likes of Rubens, but sometimes I also venture into renaissance pieces by Cranach to appreciate their religious significance. Impressionism and pointillism, I’m afraid, are a bit too new for my tastes, as is most of Boston. Given my Read more…
With smiles on their faces the performers at BB’s Jazz Blues Soups do not disappoint. Known for it’s jazz and blues, there’s one place to go for music in the Midwest it has to be St. Louis. In even earlier times, it was also the home of Scott Joplin, a Read more…
